Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm interested in picking up some Super Famicom games to play on SNES. Thought this might be a good place to form a list of some playable Japanese games most of us in North America may not have been exposed to. Most importantly, for me anyway, would be some recommendations of games that are in English or where it's not necessarily fundamental to be able to read Japanese. *Not sure if one of these lists already exists* As an example, earlier this year I bought the Super Famicom version of Rock'N'Roll Racing because the SNES version was too hard for me to find. Game is exactly the same except there are Japanese subtitles.
PS. Not really interested in playing roms of translated games.

If you like horizontal shmups, I highly recommend the Parodius series . It's pretty import friendly.

If you haven't heard of the series, it's a parody spinoff series of the classic Konami series, Gradius. The series has to be one of the trippiest games I've ever played. It's crazy how weird it gets lol.

A quick note, Parodius Da! was actually released in Europe, but it's sequels, Gokujou Parodius and Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius only came out on the Super Famicom.
